Welcome to Brothel Tycoon Devlog!

As the Brothel Tycoon game is in development, here we will briefly describe to you where we have reached and how we are progressing. If you have any questions or suggestions - feel free to write your opinion in the comments. The opening part is almost completely finished, so here we will introduce you to what happens in it. The game begins with Yvonne's arrival at the cafe and looking around the cafe and the associated office.

After familiarizing herself with the office, Yvonne needs to select candidates for the assistant position and invite them for an interview. She must invite a minimum of one girl, and a maximum of eight.
After each working day, Yvonne receives a daily financial report at midnight. Pay attention to the fact that the facility maintenance fee starts from the first day.
The allowed negative balance on the account is 10 percent of the value of the base objects (assets), which in the presented case is 5,000.00 If the bank account exceeds the allowed negative limit, bankruptcy occurs and the game is over!
The next day, she starts interviews for the assistant job.






After choosing the assistant, there is a short tour of the cafe, and after that Yvonne, now with the help of the assistant, needs to choose three waitresses to start working at the cafe.


The daily financial report follows again, but this time the salary of the assistant is also shown, as well as the related insurance.
Interviews with candidates for waitresses follow the next morning.


Note: if Yvonne does not hire an assistant after the first interview, the whole process is repeated until she chooses an assistant. But don't forget that maintenance of the facility is charged every day! The same rule applies to the employment of waitresses. Yvonne does not have to hire all three waitresses in the first interview, but the process will repeat until she hires the required three waitresses. After choosing the waitresses, it is necessary to make work schedules: first for the assistant, and then for the waitresses. RULES:

• an employee can only work one shift per day
• an employee can work a maximum of five days a week
• the assistant must work on Monday mornings to evaluate employees

The customer index is an index of the expected number of guests per hour throughout the day. After the work schedules for assistants and waitresses, it is necessary to define the prices of drinks and services. Prices can be reduced and/or increased from -50 to +50 percent with a step of 5 percent.
After Yvonne and the assistant make work schedules for the waitresses and defining the prices of drinks and services, the assistant informs Yvonne that they are not ready to start work yet.
The start of work is postponed until the next day, and a new financial report follows at midnight. In addition to the salary of the assistant, insurance for waitresses is also calculated (the salary of waitresses is not calculated until they start working, but the insurance is paid as soon as they apply for the job).
The next morning, the assistant informs Yvonne that they have received approval to work from the sanitary inspection, but a fee must be paid.
Now Yvonne has a choice: pay 3,500.00 for a sanitary license or seduce an inspector and pay nothing. If she chooses to pay the fee in cash, the assistant will write a check to the inspector and everything is ready to start working.
If Yvonne chooses another payment method, hot action in the bedroom will ensue.

But the assistant may not like this way of running the business...

The assistant can decide to stay or quit. If the assistant quits, Yvonne has to select and invite candidates for the job interview on the job market. In both cases, short conversations and signing of the contract with the waitresses follow.

After signing the contracts, the opening of the cafe and the "live mode" will come, but more on that in the next issue of Devlog. Stay tuned!

Brothel Tycoon is a simulation game where you have to help Yvonne, in any way possible, including sex if necessary, to develop her business from a small cafe to a luxury entertainment place for adults.

EMPLOYEES

After Yvonne buys the cafe, it is necessary to find employees. This part starts with choosing the secretary (which is a kind of game AI) and after that you need to choose the waitresses for the cafe.

During the game, when conditions are met, Yvonne can expand her business by hiring female dancers and opening a dance club.

Further development of the business enables the employment of additional employees such as maids, hookers, security guards and nurses.

MANAGEMENT

During the game, it is possible to determine working days and shifts for employees, hire new ones and give notice to existing ones.

In addition, the basic task is to determine the prices of the services offered by the facility (in the range from -25 to +25% of the base prices).

GAME ENGINE

Although the game engine is Ren'Py, this is not a classic visual novel. This game is a business simulation with elements of strategy.

There are elements of a visual novel in the game, but they are in the function of management and the selection of further actions and tasks.

"LIVE MODE" AND SEXUAL EVENTS

In addition to the conversations between the game's characters (which is performed in the form of a visual novel), the game also has a "Live Mode" where the player follows the events in various parts of the facility (café, dance and/or night club) and has an insight into all the actions that the employees do.

It is possible to see the waitresses while they serve the guests, but it is also possible to see the dancers and hookers while they serve their guests.

As a bonus, Yvonne has an additional option, which is not to pay the bills with money (see picture below)...
